Or not.
But it does work. The Emperor attacks & Anikin Returns.
You may not like it, & that’s fine, but that is what happens.
Just throwing his weapon aside and saying “ha ha you can’t make me angry” might be a nice piece of Zen, but it’s completely useless as a means to defeat evil and is of no value whatsoever to the thousands being slaughtered outside.
You’ve missed the point. It was Luke flipping the tables.
He was goading the Emperor to attack, just as the Emperor had been doing to him, believing that when he did, his father would return & kill the Emperor.
And it worked.I mean there is nothing to indicate that this is Luke’s intention. And does Vader really look like he’s in the mood for a bitchin’ team-up at that point? I think this whole “Luke planned it this way” thing is a real stretch.
Luke didn’t plan for it to go down the way it did, he just knew he somehow had to Return Anikin.
You’re right about one thing: Luke is stumbling through & flying by the seat of his pants. Adapting to what’s happening & acting on that “instinct” Obi-Wan was telling him about.
